This paper emphasizes that the analyzing and the intepretation of images, involves anholistic view, including intention, content, message, and the influence on the observer.The paper focuses on daily produced images. The starting point of this paper is ´image´in the concept of ´the written image´. The theory- and method textcritical perspective.used in this paper is close connected to Paul Feyerabends, Against Method, and toRobert Farrells work Feyerabend and Scientific Values. This papers specific ques-tionsare, 1) is analyzing and intepretation of images, subjective ?, 2) needs the subjectivityto be handled to limit arbitrariness and distortion ?, 3) is it appropriate to use a filterof awarerness as an aid to handle the subjectivity ? The answear to the threequestions, is short and clear: ?Yes?. The competence to analyze, translate and intepretreliable, daily produced images, is named ´image competence´. The sugges-tions oncontinued studies are, a) update the position of ´Art History´ within the area ofpictures and images, b) to develop a usable filter of awarerness as an aid to handledistortion in translating daily produced images, c) to study why some images areadditional effective in combination with text.
